I have always enjoyed taking raw materials and turning it into something beautiful whether it was with textiles or decorating for our children’s school plays or proms. I discovered painting over ten years ago and was thrilled to find this challenging creative process trying to capture the beauty and serenity I experience in the world much of which is in my own backyard. I am grateful for all God’s gifts and love sharing this joy and passion with others. I am never done learning! Profits from my work will benefit charities such as “Women of Hope” in Philadelphia and the “Children in the Between” which is an effort to help the poor in Tanzania, Africa.
